I'm thinking of implementing such a tag cloud for various artists on my <a href="http://www.lyrix.at/" title="my lyrics page" rel="nofollow">lyrics page</a>. It would be interesting, if someone knew how to tell google or some other search engine bot the relevance of some certain tag. I know it's possible using sitemaps and the priority tag... does google parse the css? regards dominik Nice Post… I’m thinking of implementing such a tag cloud for various artists on my lyrics page.

SELECT term, counter FROM search ORDER BY counter DESC LIMIT 30

you can be sure that maximum counter is in the first row of your result, so just read it ;)

However, I can't stop wondering if the term "tag" is appropriate, since none of your elements in the cloud are tags. They are search words, and thus the term "search cloud" is more appropriate. Anyways, I'm only being pedantic because I would have loved to had seen an implementation of actual tags. Nice stuff you put together.

$query = “SELECT max(counter) as maxcounter from searches order by date desc, counter desc;”;
$result = $db1->Query($query);
$arr_result = $db1->FetchArray($result);
return $arr_result[0]['maxcounter'];

Thanks

An implementation i've used before is to just create an array of distasteful words, then as you are processing the search, check if (in_array($search_term, $bad_words)) show an error to the user and do not add the term to the search table.
